Laura said: "Going to school is something we take for granted and I was really shocked when I realised how many children around the world aren’t able to go.

"I think everyone should support this campaign."

Mr Mulholland said: "This is a great campaign with a simple but really important message.

“Education gives people control over their lives, helps them earn money, feed their families and contribute to their society.

"At the moment 69 million children in the world are unable to go to school and as a result have little chance of fulfilling their potential.

"I hope the Prince Henry's students who are supporting this campaign will always remember how lucky they are to receive such a great education here in Otley, and will continue to fight for less privileged children in other countries of the world."

The school's modern foreign languages teacher and International Co-Ordinator, Georgina Anson, added: "As the first high school in the Yorkshire and Humber region to be awarded the Unicef Rights Respecting Children Award, our work on children’s rights across the world is vitally important to the school.

"Working with the students on this campaign really brings that message to life for them.”

Prince Henry's also holds the highest level of the Stephen Lawrence Educational Standard - Level Three - and its curriculum regularly covers international campaigns for children’s rights.
